He was asked if the project had been cancelled
Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla's chief designer, also denied rumors that Tesla had abandoned development of the $25,000 car.
This question was asked during his talk at the Petersen Automotive Museum. A reporter asked about the progress of the $25,000 low-cost electric car and whether it had been canceled or delayed.
«Stay tuned, — said Franz von Holzhausen. — You should not always believe what is written on the Internet.
He was clearly alluding to a Reuters article that said Elon Musk had abandoned the Tesla electric car project with a starting price of $25,000.
Earlier, Elon Musk himself said that Reuters was lying, but did not go into details about the timing of the release of the new model.
It recently became known that Tesla plans to introduce a new method of assembling cars, which, according to company experts, will help reduce costs and simplify the assembly process. It can be used for a new $25,000 model.
